Hall said victims often blame

Student Government President Tim Robinson ctst the
only dissenting vote He voted against the int re‘ise. despite
the board‘s unanimous adopt ion of an amendment he crafted
in partnership with l'lsI President Lee Todd

Robinson‘s amendment was intended to ensure that mon-
ey generated by the tuition increase would go to improving
student life and adjusting scholarship awards to reflect the
increased cost of attending Hi.

“If this money comes out oftheir pockets. it should go to
benefit students and student life." he said.

Robinson said he voted no because of a campaign
promise he made to students never to vote for tuition iii-
creases.

Todd said Hi faces “significant expenditures” to main
tain its current levels of operation. He said without this in-
crease. L'K would face having to cut back on some of its basic
services for students Inflated energy costs also factored into
the decision. he said.

17K Senior Vice President for Administration Jack Bian»
ton said increased prices for coal has created a 81.8 million
shortfall compared to the budgeted money. based on last
year‘s prices.

The increased amount was decided based upon a compar-
ison of [Rs tuition rates compared with is other "bench-
mark" universities Even with the illtl‘l‘(1>(‘. iflx' comes out at

Todd said it will be “challenging“ to persuade
the legislature to provide all the money UK will re-
quest. Accordingly. he said. he wants to look for “al-
ternate funding sources“ for these projects.

The president’s report on capital requests also
includes projected funding from various state agen-
cies and federal funds. some of which will go toward
purchasing equipment and running the university
hospital system.

Top five priorities
l. Addition to the Morgan School for Biological Sciences -
$29 million
2. Expansion of the College of Pharmacy ~ $45 million
3. Expansion of the Gatton College of Business and

The expansion of LCC. which was formerly the

In the wake of the Sept. 12

Hamby stressed that many
rapes are not being reported.

"Sexual assaults are oc-

Kelly Behre. volunteer co-

“If you are uncomfortable
with a situation early on. it‘s
probably going to escalate."
Behre said.

Behre said an event
called “Take Back the Night."
will focus on sexual violence
and domestic violence.

"A large amount of do-
mestic violence includes sexu-
al assault." Behre said.

And she said attitudes
about sexual assault are slow-
ly changing.

“We have raised aware-
ness and acknowledged it is
not just a women's issue. It
needs to be men. women and
children working together.“

Sotne people would be
surprised to know Live re-
leased their fifth album V
Tuesday. Their albums have
been less than successful
since their sophomore album
Throwing Copper sold several
million copies in 1994.

Subsequent albums Se-
cret Samadhi and The Dr's-
tance to Here failed to produce
critical and commercial suc-
cess. Songs like “Freaks" and
“Insomnia and the Hole in
the Universe" failed to cap-
ture a listening audience.

The highlights are the
Tricky-influenced "Simple
Creed" with a guest rap from
Tricky. the Glen Ballad pro-
duced “Forever May Not Be
Long Enough" and the trade-
mark Live ballad "Call Me A
Fool."

The upbeat song “Flow“
features Counting Crows lead
singer Adam Duritz. Howev-
er if you don't read the insert.

you would never know it was
him. It's still a great song.
And "The Ride" adds a sitar
to the instrumentation.
which gives the song a Mid-
dle Eastern feel.

“Overcome" recently be-
came an American anthem
after the World Trade Center
attacks. Radio stations have
been playing the song in
hopes of uplifting everyone‘s
morale. Lead singer Ed
Kowalczyk’s voice backed by
a piano is soothing to listen
to.

The only dud on the al-
bum is “OK?” OK. why didn‘t
they take this song off the al-
bum? It‘s too short and too
monotonous to be effective.

Live does not change
their style with this album. It
integrates the same spiritual
lyrics and music that slowly
builds throughout the song.
But when it‘s done well, there
is no need to complain.

All of these songs. like
most of their other songs
from other albums. are ener-
getic like they were made to
play live in front of an audi-
ence. It goes to show the
band‘s name is appropriate.
